A few weeks ago, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched ‘The Real Food Show’ — a new MAHA program that focuses on cooking healthy, affordable meals for under $5 per serving.

The first episode featured celebrity guest Chef Andrew Gruel making salmon cakes and salad, priced at $19.64 for four servings.

If you missed it, we covered the episode here:

On Thursday, CNN recreated the salmon cake meal and performed their own ‘price check’ to see how it lines up at the grocery store.

Somehow, CNN’s Tom Foreman ended up spending a total of $70.54 for the same ingredients featured in RFK Jr.’s cooking show.

Now, you might be asking: how is that possible?

Well, Foreman priced in the full cost of every single item he bought at the store — not just the portion that was used for this single meal.

For instance, he counted the cost of a whole bottle of avocado mayonnaise, when the recipe only required a few tablespoons.

Watch the original segment for yourself here:

 

For reference, here’s a closer look at CNN’s comparison between RFK Jr.’s price breakdown and theirs:

Notice how CNN even included the $0.10 bag charged by the store!

This is incredibly dishonest reporting, to say the least.

Maybe Tom Foreman never cooks at home so he doesn’t know this but, you aren’t supposed to buy a bottle of mayonnaise and throw it out after just one meal!

It goes in your pantry for future use in many more dishes.

In response, RFK Jr. delivered a brutal reality check to CNN.

Read his full reply here:

Trump Derangement Syndrome has so debilitated @ErinBurnett
that she has abandoned both common sense and basic arithmetic.

CNN wants us to incorporate the full package price of every ingredient, regardless of what is used in the recipe.

If you put a squirt of ketchup on your burger, would you be surprised if the restaurant charged you for the whole bottle?

The Real Food Show uses standard recipe costing: we count what the recipe actually uses. The rest stays in your kitchen for the next meal—and the meals after that.

Our goal is simple: help Americans reclaim their kitchens, cook healthy food without breaking the bank, and stock their pantries with high-quality ingredients they can use again and again.

That’s how we Make America Healthy Again.

RFK Jr. isn’t the only one hitting back at CNN for this ridiculous segment.

Take a look at some of these replies from other folks on X:

Full text of that post:

This is the most out of touch segment I’ve seen from CNN in a while. Is this the journalist’s first time to ever cook anything?

Plus he is touting his own performance of cooking the meal while casting doubt on the “healthy” claim.

Further, everyone knows you don’t include the full price of a jar of mayo in the cost of a single meal.

You buy 1 jar and it lasts for MONTHS, and that cost is broken down into a couple of pennies per meal over the course of many months.

This is low — even for CNN.

Does the fake news really have nothing better to report on?
